- 요약Self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITB), comprising non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), suicidal ideation (SI), and suicide attempts (SA), are one of the most complex and pressing public health challenges facing the United States. Suicide is a leading cause of death for young people, and rates have increased for the past two-plus decades, even more so following the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Females in particular are at high risk for SITB early in life, which is concerning given that histories of SITB are strong predictors of later SITB. Yet, despite decades of research, our understanding of SITB and how to prevent them remains limited. Barriers to developing prevention strategies for SITB include a lack of understanding of SITB trajectories across the lifespan, as well as functions of SITB. I aim to fill this gap by leveraging data from a prospective, longitudinal study of females with enhanced risk for SITB-that is, females with carefully diagnosed childhood ADHD-and a neurotypical comparison sample, who were recently assessed as the sample members entered their fourth decade of life.My first aim sought to examine the presence and persistence of SITB beyond emerging and early adulthood. I hypothesized that women with histories of childhood ADHD would continue to display elevated rates of SITB compared to females without histories of childhood ADHD. I also predicted that among individuals with histories of SITB, suicidal ideation (but not NSSI or suicide attempts) would continue to persist since the last wave of investigation (age range of mid-to-late 20s). Consistent with other research, I found that rates of SITB generally decreased from when women were in their mid-to-late 20s to 30s across the sample, with suicidal ideation being the most common form expressed. Via Chi-squared tests and measured effect sizes using odds ratios, I found that although women who engaged in SITB in adulthood often had a history of childhood-especially the subtype characterized by high impulsivity (ADHD- Combined), these differences were generally not statistically significant. If, however, a woman reported chronic engagement in NSSI, she was more likely than not to have a history of childhood ADHD, whereas if a woman reported new onset NSSI in her mid-thirties, she was more likely to not have a history of childhood ADHD. Thus, childhood ADHD appears to yield risk for chronic engagement in NSSI.It is important to understand not only when people engage in SITB but also why. Leading theories regarding the functions of SITB indicate that they are likely to serve as emotion regulatory strategies. That is, SITB are posited to function as an attempt to regulate intense suffering-yet maladaptive in terms of regulating such pain. A growing body of research investigates the role of emotion dysregulation in the link between ADHD and associated high risk for SITB. My second aim was therefore to examine difficulties with emotion regulation, as well as specific subdomains of emotion regulation, among women with and without histories of childhood ADHD, using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). As predicted, females with histories of childhood ADHD had more overall difficulties with emotion regulation compared to females without childhood ADHD. Regarding impairment in key facets of emotion regulation, four out of the six facets of difficulties with emotion regulation were linked with a history of childhood ADHD. Furthermore, difficulty controlling behaviors in the context of heightened emotion differentiated the childhood ADHD subgroups, with the ADHD-Combined group strugglingly significantly more than the ADHD-Inattentive group. In short, childhood ADHD has long-term associations with emotion dysregulation when women are in their mid-thirties.My third aim was to examine associations between both the presence and persistence of SITB and difficulties in emotion regulation. I predicted that individuals with current SITB will display elevated levels of emotion dysregulation compared to females without current SITB, especially so for individuals with SITB and a history of childhood ADHD. Interestingly, I found that only females with a history of current engagement in NSSI plus a history of childhood ADHD had heightened levels of emotion dysregulation. Females who engaged in persistent suicidal ideation or NSSI had higher levels of emotion dysregulation compared to those who had suicidal ideation or NSSI at the previous wave of data collection yet desisted by present wave of data collection or had new onset of suicidal ideation or NSSI at the present wave of data collection. Findings highlight the important of emotion dysregulation as a link between childhood ADHD and later SITB, revealing important areas for targeted intervention.This dissertation adds to the limited research on SITB trajectories across different developmental life stages, especially for the high-risk group of females with history of childhood ADHD. This research informs the development of prevention and intervention programs for SITB among females, emphasizing targeting emotion dysregulation early in and across development. Future research areas are also discussed.
